3:30 Action points from last meeting:

• Alisa: Get plan for blue light on wiki (from 10 Aug). Alisa has done a plan but this is not on Wiki.

3:35 Status Reports: (5 minutes each including any discussion)

• Pat : Red light receptor progress/design/plan- needs?
  • M30109: Must construct from scratch plan to be produced by Pat.
    • craig seqenced Cph8 from M30109 first part present
    • Cph8 from initial plate not functional
  • This is then drives RBS-ComP-term
    • RBS-ComP -done
  • Also required is ConstitutiveProm-RBS-ComA-term
    • RBS-ComA-term -done

• Jan & Alisa: Blue light receptor design/plan progress - needs?
  • ComP and SopII conbined at variouse points by using 4 primer stiching:
    • Comp P forward
    • SopII reverse
    • ComP-SoPII overlap sense
    • ComP-SopII overlap antisense
  • Note that there are 7 different stiching pairs that result in combination at different points.-Done
  • The product is then combined with RBS -Done
  • Sequencing being performed Friday
  • Then transcription terminator
  • The constitutive promotor to create protein generator part.
  • Also Required is reporter construct PsfPromoter-RBS-LacZ-term
  • Only three colonies pSFR8 grew in LB

• Phil: Gas vesicles progress/design/plan - needs?
  • Ligation P48J (SpeI & PstI digested) to PCR(GvpL) underway
  • Ligation P48J (SpeI & PstI digested) to PCR(GvpB to GvpU inclusive)(XbaI and PstI digested) underway
  • Buoyancy experiment needs repeating
  • Other parts required from kit->glycerol stocks: B034 (P1-3O) , B0015 (P1-1I or P3-3O), J61034 (P4-8F or 8H)
  • Pat to provide these.

3.55 New Agenda Items:

• Sally Grass (chemical and biochemical engineering):
  • interested in signal transduction.
  • moving to lab in bio21.
  • will help promote next years comp
  • Suggested Chris contact Lisa Hayes in chem eng re promotion.

• Phil: Administrative Timetable: (4 Weeks to go)

• Chris: Next years Comp Plan/preparations
